Equipment
4,930/280hp V-8, 4 Weber carburetors, 5-speed, Blaupunkt cassette stereo, alloy wheels, Hankook tires, U.S.-spec, books, tools, Maserati Classiche papers, original owner’s manual.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Represented as the matching numbers engine. Sound but quick older repaint, sound interior with worn and cracked driver’s seat, good stainless roof. Old undercoat in wheelwells. Engine and chassis are cleaned up and repainted in place. An honest old car that probably is neither more nor less than it appears to be.
Market commentary
Sold by Gooding at Amelia in 2015 for $181,500 with 618 fewer miles on its odometer than it has today, then at Gooding Scottsdale in 2018 for $170,500. Boras are seriously undervalued cars from the Seventies. They have booming V-8 performance and well-known Maserati build quality, but this result is as good as it could get in 2022 with some modest premium earned for not being messed with.
